Ingredients

6 mini cucumbers

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon garlic minced

1.5 teaspoons gochujang

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Slice each cucumber by placing one between two chopsticks. Make 45° angle slices down the length of the cucumber. The chopsticks make it so you don't cut all the way through.

Flip the cucumber over, still keeping it between the chopsticks. Make straight up and down slices down the length of the cucumber. Repeat with all the cucumbers.

Place sliced cucumbers in a bowl and add salt. Let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse excess salt off the cucumbers. Drain and pat dry.

In a small bowl mix the rest of the ingredients.

Pour dressing over the cucumbers and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can adjust the spice by adding more or less gochujang.

If you're not up to spiral cutting the cucumbers, you can cut them into thin slices.

I like to eat this salad immediately after preparing. As it sits the cucumbers can lose their crunch.

I received this in an email from Favorite Family Recipes. I have not made it yet, but thought some might like it.
